2.The respondent/ husband has filed H.M.O.P.No.237 of 2019 before the Sub Court, Theni, for divorce. The first petitioner/wife has filed M.C.No.58 of 2020 before the Family Court, Madurai, for maintenance.

¶14

The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the first petitioner is having 1 ½ years child and she is residing in her parental home along with her father, who is aged about 80 years. The distance between Madurai to Theni is nearly 80 kms. In such circumstances, it is difficult for the first petitioner to travel along with her child, to attend the hearings in H.M.O.P.No.237 of 2019, on the file of Sub Court, Theni. Therefore, he prays to transfer H.M.O.P.No.237 of 2019, to the file of Family Court Madurai, to be tried along with M.C.No.58 of 2020.
